Small Lure Mikros-Pop 130

Description The Mikros-Pop is the first injection molded offering under the Small Lure Company.  Its lineage can be traced back to the original Mikros series by StrategicAngler® created in 2013.  Even though the original 5 inch Mikros series stickbait was designed to be a small lure, it was overbuilt and designed with the best action possible with just a simple retrieve. This resulted in a compact shape perfect for maximum distance with an amazing swimming presence in the water. The Mikros-Pop was in a conceptual design phase for several years before its public announcement in late 2023 with its public debut in the summer of 2024. The Small Lure Company’s Mikros-Pop retains some of the swimming characteristics as the original stickbait.  It pops on the surface of the water with ease, so there is no need for hard long sweeps or hard jerks of the rod tip. A quick 1-2 second pause after a pop is enough time for it to recover and ready for the next pop.  The Mikros-Pop has a tight and erratic subsurface action with a medium or fast retrieve with the rod tip down, keeping the rod tip up will make it skip on the surface like a flying fish trying to take off.  The Mikros-Pop has a built in medium frequency rattle that doubles as a shifting ballast which gives the lure an audible “thunk” designed to spark the interest of any predators. This ballast also moves to the back of the lure during the cast extending its range and while at rest, keeping it in a diagonally upright position similar to a traditional stickbait. The Mikros-Pop is currently available in a 5 inch size (130mm) and in hot pink and Sandeel colours currently at PBA representing some of the most predominant baitfish across the world. Each lure pattern has been tested in various fisheries from the Outerbanks to the Northeast atlantic, Western pacific, Australia and Hawaii and has successfully captured numerous species from each region including plenty of Bluefin Tunas.
